Trail Bridge Sub-Sector Program

1. FOREWORD
This Manual has been developed for application by the Trail Bridge Support Unit (TBSU)
to monitor the District Trail Bridge Program for which a sub-sector approach has been
adopted.

In the current phase of the Trail Bridge Sub-Sector Program (2007-2010), the role of the
Trail Bridge Support Unit (TBSU) has been changed from facilitation to monitoring. At the
same time, TBSU is providing Technical Assistance to the different donors notably the
World Bank and the Asian Development Bank1. This calls upon a set of tools facilitating
accountability to the different stakeholders and the community at large. Similarly, these
tools will also help the trail bridge sub-sector in creating a common understanding of the
sub-sector.

2. INTRODUCTION
This Manual is a tool for TBSU staff responsible for monitoring the performance of District
Development Committees (DDCs) with respect to trail bridge building and to rectify any
“wrongs” at an as early stage as possible.

The basic norm used to identify “rights” and “wrongs” has been the Trail Bridge
Strategy/Local Infrastructure Development Policy (TBS/LIDP).

This Manual should not create the illusion that TBSU is responsible for the Quality
Assurance of each individual bridge. On the contrary, DDCs themselves are responsible!

TBSU’s role is that of strengthening the DDC as an Institution, a coach to DDCs, an

inspector vis à vis any donor sponsoring the sub-sector with respect to the quality of
bridge construction as well as a provider of selected bridge parts. The intensity of TBSU’s
inspections will gradually reduce as the performance of DDCs as institutions progress and
TBS/DoLIDAR assisted by private sector inspectors gradually take over which is
elaborated on Section 4 below.

Even though TBSU’s role is to gradually reduce, care must be taken to continuously
observe the post-conflict situation and the inherent unstable situation in DDCs and to thus
not rush the process overtly.

The users of this Manual must be aware of its limitations. There is always a tendency to
make monitoring processes/tools perfect. However, it is seldom realized and the
practicality of the tools then becomes a mere academic exercise. This has also been felt
while developing this manual. At the same time gross violations to the TBS/LIDP were
observed at the time which even “the best” Manual could not have filtered out. It is
especially these gross violations that deserve our foremost attention and not the
microscopic “violations”.

Hence users must not blindly follow the Manual and must first of all apply a good dose of
rational judgement and professional intuition. In case of doubt, users are encouraged to
discuss observations with their superiors and / or peers.

the World Bank and the DRILP funded by the Asian Development Bank.

Trail Bridge Sub-Sector Program

This Manual is as comprehensive as realistically possible. The list of forms, agreements,

and guidelines and other relevant documents that form an essential component of this
manual can be found in the annex 1.

Complementing this manual, a reporting format has also been developed and presented
in annex 2 which shall help the DDCs to gather field data and information. This
information can then be processed for establishing its accountability vis-à-vis donors and
the central agencies.

3. MILESTONES
Reference is made to the Monitoring Schedule Table on Page 6.

To monitor the district trail bridge program, two kinds of milestones are distinguished. On
the horizontal axis one finds:

1 Critical Milestones CMS

2 Ordinary Milestones OMS

Critical Milestones (CMS) are those Milestones where the Inspector can conceivably
interrupt the work and demand corrective actions before he/she will allow the work to
proceed.

Ordinary Milestones (OMS) are those Milestones where the Inspector may recommend
remedial actions but for which he/she will not stop the work if the actions are not
undertaken.

There is a total of 10 Milestones, of which 6 are Critical and 4 Ordinary.

All Milestones except CMS-1 deal with individual bridges. CMS-1 deals with the
Institutional Capacity and plans of the incumbent DDC as well as an individual bridge.

Further, on the vertical axis, one finds the following Inspection Perspectives:

1 Program Perspective
2 Technical Perspective
3 Social Perspective

The Monitoring Schedule depicts ten Milestones vs. three Inspection Perspectives. Each
intersection defines the Inspection intent in broad terms.

The Monitoring Schedule also reveals the Critical Issues as well as the location (e.g. Site
or Factory) at which the Inspection is to occur.

The detailed Inspections that are required can be found in a tab that corresponds to the
Milestone #. Within the numbered tab are three coloured sub-tabs denoting the
Program-, Technical- and Social Perspectives.

Monitoring Manual Page (2)

Trail Bridge Sub-Sector Program

4. FREQUENCY OF INSPECTIONS
The support TBSU renders to DDCs follows the following steps:

1 Capacity Building
2 Coaching
3 Intensive Monitoring
4 Intermediate Monitoring
5 Pvt. Sector Monitoring

It is important to note that the graduation from one step to the next will depend on the
DDC’s maturity as an institution to handle the trail bridge program as well as predefined
criterion. A step does not necessarily represent one year. The DDCs falling in one of the
above categories and their progression into subsequent steps will be reviewed at the
outset of each new FY.

In principle, TBSU will reduce the frequency of its random Inspections as shown below:

STEP TBSU's inspection frequency TBS/DoLIDAR

1 Cap. Bldg. 100%
2 Coaching 70%
3 Intensive Monitoring 40%
4 Intermediate Monitoring 20%
(10% by Pvt Sector)
5 Pvt. Sector Monitoring 5%

At step 5, inspection responsibilities will have been fully devolved to TBS/DoLIDAR.

TBSU will reduce most of its inspections markedly as time progresses. However,
inspections for each individual bridge at the following Critical Mile Stones shall be
continued for as long as TA will be rendered through TBSU:

MILE-STONE INSPECTION PERSPECTIVE CRITICAL ISSUES

CMS-1 Program Institutional Pre-requisites,
Equitable Distribution,
Commitment of Budget
CMS-2 Technical Sound Economic Design
Social Inclusiveness
CMS-9 Technical Quality Construction
Social Payment as per Plan
CMS-10 Social Public Audit, Payment to Workers

TBSU’s hereby fulfills its mandate as an inspector vis à vis any donor sponsoring the sub-
sector with respect to the quality of bridge construction.

Monitoring Manual Page (3)

Trail Bridge Sub-Sector Program

5. DATA COLLECTION AND DETAILED INSPECTIONS

The tabs provide the prescribed inspections in chronological order.

The manual is as generic as possible. Wherever distinction is required between NC and

MM or SSTB and LSTB, it has been clearly indicated. Rehabilitation is considered identical
to NC for the purpose of inspection.

Where information is required, the prescribed inspection is preceded by a table that

simply needs to be completed.

The person in charge indicated in the last column has the option to interrupt further
construction when a certain issue is “unacceptable” or “conditionally acceptable”. He/she
can tick “remedied” in the last column once he/she is satisfied that the cause for his/her
objection has been sufficiently addressed. The tick indicates that he/she has agreed for
the works to proceed.

Emphasize has been put in trying to detect conceivable “wrongs” as early as possible in
order to keep costs of further harms down. E.g. technical inspections are emphasized at
CMS-9 (app. in the middle of construction) where rectifications are still relatively easy and
not at CMS-10 when the bridge is finished and rectifications are difficult and costly. This
contradicts the popular view that inspections should be held at the end of construction.

Critical Milestones are “critical” from either a program or a social and/or a technical
perspective. CMS-1 and CMS- 10 are exceptions. CMS-1 is critical only from a program
perspective while CMS-10 is critical from social perspective only. CMS-10 also differs from
other milestones in a sense that it has to be conducted not exactly at the time of the
milestone but sometime (< 3 months) thereafter. The main reason is that the DDC must
be given sufficient time to have settled all payments and CMS-10 mainly cross checks that
all payments were completed as committed at the outset.

It is important that every issue be properly addressed. This forms the proven record of
TBSU’s inspections vis à vis the counterpart as well as any donor.

It has to be born in mind that monitoring the application of the TBS/LIDP is the sole
responsibility of TBS/DoLIDAR. As a maturing section within the department, it has to be
upgraded / expanded with the additional resources (both human and financial) so that it
can address the challenges of the Trail Bridge Sub-Sector. TBSU therefore, is very much
in favour of involving TBS/DoLIDAR in the monitoring processes so that TBS/DoLIDAR can
assume monitoring roles spelled out in TBS/LIDP in a gradual and systematic manner.

6. REPORTING
Principally, two kinds of reports listed below can be generated. The list below is not an
exhaustive one. All reports distinguish between New Construction (NC) and Major
Maintenance (MM); SSTB and LSTB, as well as “Suspended (D)” and “Suspension (N)”
type. As mentioned in the section 5, rehabilitation is considered identical to NC for the
purpose of inspection reporting.

1. A summary per Region for the RPC and/or TC regarding the Inspection
component indicating
1.1 bridges that have passed the inspections as well as the final
inspection / approval date.
1.2 pending bridges, passed inspections, indicating last milestone /
approval date.
1.3 bridges that did not pass the inspection, the reason and the last
inspection date.
1.4 bridges where the constructions have been interrupted, the reason,
the required remedial action and the last inspection date.

2. A bi-annual nationwide summary for the Coordination Unit, for the purpose
of accountability vis à vis donors and by means of the Yearly Plan of
Operation/Annual Project Reporting, indicating:
2.1 Outcomes / Access:
2.1.1 Number of projected users (average per bridge, average per DDC,
country average) per day
2.1.2 Ditto, segregated by ethnicity and gender.
2.1.3 Prime Purpose of a Bridge demand (per DDC, Nationwide)
2.2 Outcomes / Delegating Capacity and Capacity Building:
2.2.1 Number of competent practitioners (per DDC versus the
progression steps) (engineers, Sub-Engineer)
2.2.2 Ditto, for NGOs (Ass. Sub-Engineer)
2.2.3 DDCs that Delegated work to NGOs (for SSTB), to the private
sector (for LSTB).
2.2.4 Mutation rates in DDCs
2.2.5 Mutation rates in NGOs
2.3 Inspections:
2.3.1 number of bridges that have passed the inspections
2.3.2 number of pending bridges
2.3.3 number of bridges that did not pass the inspection
2.3.4 number of bridges where the construction has been interrupted
2.4 Political:
2.4.1 Bridge Requests (Demands) per District
2.4.2 Distance Gained (average per DDC, average for the Nation)
2.4.3 Ditto for DRH & DHQ, comparison to 2.4.2
2.4.4 Patterns of UC-composition (districts and nationwide)
2.5 Financial:
2.5.1 average estimated bridge costs per linear meter per bridge type
(district and nationwide)
2.5.2 average bridge cost per user (district and nationwide)
2.5.3 average contribution per stakeholder segregated by donor (district
and nationwide)
